demonstrated the possibilities of the

AtJGuilty Conscience
To the Editor of the Herald
Sir A chap who has been some
what conspicuous in the little confi
dence game connected witli the issue
of the opium license is reported to
have doubled his watch dogs and csfab
lished ft system of pass words by
which all comers not in posses
sion of the requisite word arc denied
admittance after nightfall If the cau
tious and comprehensive military genius
of the confidence man has not misled
him and divers disgruntled Celestials
arc really prowling around for anoppor
tunity of getting square with him he
may not hope to escape them by in
creasing the number of his watch dogs
or by even the most complicated
arrangement of pass words known to
military science He should know
that the Chinaman is more or less ubi
quitous in character and if there is
sufficient inducement can as easily re
move a sheet from under a man while
he is asleep or cut off his head even
without waking him up as he can braid
his own hair and that the only way to
terrify him is to appeal to his spiritual
nature and this can be done in the fol
lowing way let him if he imagines him
self in a state of siege and liable to in
roads from Chinamen place every
night large jackolanterns all around
his yard on top of his fence about
fifteen feet apart all different from
each other and made as blood curdling
as possible in appearance and each one
illuminated by an electric light This
plan faithfully carried out will be per
fectly successful so long as the jacko
lanterns look outwards for no well
regulated and devout Chinaman would
think for a moment of opposing such
an array but there arc dangers con
nected with the scheme and great care
is required for if by any mischance
any ol the jackolantcrns should ue
turned inwards facing tho house it
would be impossible to forecast the
consequences
I contribute tins proposition hoping
that its immediate and successful adop
tion may bring a sense of security

Changes in Alllolanl Hale
The apartment lately occupied by
the Marshal of the Kingdom in the
Government building has been well
fitted up for Judge Bickerton of the
Supreme Court With elegant but sub
stantial furniture and attractive carpet
ing it makes a very comfortable cham
ber for His Honor
Judge Fornander flas not yet had
accommodation provided for him It
is suggested as a good move to give
him the room at present used as the
office of the Governor of Oahu For
the Governor it is proposed to fit up
part of the large jury room or legisla
tive committee roam on the ground
floor This it is believed would be
more convenient tor military head
quarters and for the reception of for-
cign naval officers besides giving an
opportunity for the military sentry kept
on duty at the Governors office to
show himself to the public The apart
ment lias much more space than is re
quired for jury purposes indeed is con
sidered larger than is expedient there
for giving too much scope for indolent
jurors strolling away from the consulta
tion board It is important that all the
Justices of the Supreme Court should
be within easy communication and at
the same time situated near the clcr s
office
Tudce Prestons room has been reno
vated receiving a fresh coat of paint
on the walls The hat lobby of the
Supreme Court room and legislative
chamber has also been newly painted
A general touching up of the whole
interior of Alliolani Hale would not be
amiss and will probably be effected

the circumstances ot the case as
elicited at tho preliminary examination
of the prisoners before then Police
Justice Bickerton on October 28th
last were all given in the Herald of
the following day I hey were to the
effect that on the 22nd of October
Harry McChesncy grandson of the

McChesncy iV bon abstracted an
amount of about 000 from 1 pocket
book in the store of that firm gave the
money into the hands of Thomas
McGiffin and could not get it back
after confessing the deed to his father
About the only fresh evidence ad
duced yesterday at McGiffins trial
consisted in the accounts of conversa
tions overheard between defendants
while confined in the cells on the first
floor of the Police Station Reynolds
an agent of the Board of Health who
holds a policemans commission had
listened from concealed positions on
two successive nights to such convcrsa
tions lie testified that McChesncy
implored McGiffin to disclose the
hiding place of the stolen money and
he McChcsney would assume all the
blame and get his fellow prisoner oft as
lightly as possible To this McGiffins
invanauic response was in cnecr mar
they were now on their trial and it was
for the authorities to prove their al
leged guilt
The trial will probably occupy most
if not all of to day

That Cadet Uoyd of the Italian

That the opium license boodle is

That the subsidy matter the security
